The following does not account for ethanol, which s horrible crap.


In So Cal, one refinery makes the gas that is sold at 650 shell stations, hundreds of thrifty and USA stations, dozens of mobil and exxon stations, and almost all the ARCO stations. About 16 million gallons a day of it.

In So Cal, I can say for sure that IT IS ALL THE SAME STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no difference between shell gas and arco gas.

Even the additive packages are nearly identical. In fact if one of them was measurably better than any of the others, the AQMD would make everyone use it!

And if ya really think that ounce or two of additive per gallon makes a big difference, dream on.

See, marketing people know that regular folks are GULLIBLE.

They know that if they say "you only get what you pay for" some yap will over-pay for the same stuff and actually BELIEVE what he got was better, even if it was the exact same product.

Instead of letting those marketing people think for me, I try to think for myself.
